"You should know that if the Senate elects a regent, Prince Leahy will most likely be elected!"
After the crowd dispersed, Duke St. Grian finally couldn't help but speak.
Ke Lin leaned back on the chair with a smile, and deliberately teased:
"It's no big deal for Prince Lehi to become regent. The orc emperor is dead, and the Warsong Legion has also been destroyed. The remaining orcs are just a mess.
Even without my command, the human coalition forces can defeat them one by one and restore the Western Territory... "
"Don't you really understand the seriousness of the matter?" Duke St. Grian was a little anxious, "Do you really think that Prince Lech and Consul Fred will let you go if you give up your military power
In the Battle of Loire, the Central Army suffered heavy losses. Who do you think the royal family will pay for this
There is also His Majesty's abnormality, they must have noticed it a long time ago, once they gain power, they will definitely use it to make a fuss!
Even if you are prepared for this, the royal family will never let it go!
They will continue to use various methods to suppress you, restrict you, and even destroy you! Just because your current power is enough to pose a threat to the stability of the empire! "
Colin quickly raised his hand and pressed it, signaling Duke St. Grian not to get excited, and explained:
"Don't worry, I already have a way to deal with Consul Fred, I will not give up the command of the Imperial Coalition Army, you don't have to worry.
Now taking advantage of this farce, I just let the army rest for a while, and when the dust settles on this matter, I will lead the army westward. "
Colin still did not explicitly tell Duke St. Gerian that he could control the life and death of Emperor Reinhardt.
After all, with the lessons learned from the Marquis Vincent of the Eastern Realm, Colin was on guard against the blood descendants.
Seeing Colin's confident appearance, the Duke of St. Grian was a little relieved, but he still reminded:
"Colin, you are a person favored by our Lord, and you also have a sacred mission!
Although I don't know what this mission is, I firmly believe that you will be able to successfully complete it! "
After speaking, Duke St. Grian respectfully saluted Colin as a knight, and then left the camp.
Colin sat alone in the chair, but fell into deep thought.
He could feel Duke St. Grian's ardent hope for him.
Obviously, the other party really regarded him as a divinely favored person who came to the world with a sacred mission.
Moreover, the Duke of St. Grian is not satisfied with Colin's current achievements, even though he has driven the trolls into a dead end, and now he has buried the third empire of orcs and saved the glorious empire that was in danger.
She's still hoping for more.
She didn't think that a divinely favored person came to the world, and the mission that needed to be accomplished was limited to this. .
Because the last favored person was Garner San Lorenzo, the founding emperor of the Glorious Empire!
He unified the human empire, defeated the major races, and made humans the masters of this continent.
Compared with him, Ke Lin's current achievements are indeed not enough.
But the thing is, Colin knows he's a fake...
He is just an ordinary person who traveled from another world, and has nothing to do with the gods, nor does he have any sacred mission.
At most, it just inexplicably possesses the ability similar to that of a vampire...
However, Duke St. Grian's reminder and expectation made Colin couldn't help but start to reflect—
What is the purpose and significance of coming to this world
Without a mission, can you eat and wait to die
In fact, Marquis Garcia once asked Colin similar questions, but Colin didn't think about it seriously.
When he first came to this world, Colin only wanted to find out what the role of his vampire "Gold Finger" was, and at the same time he was also trying to find out who killed his predecessor to avoid being assassinated again.
Later, because of the invasion of trolls, he was involved in the war, and thus met Vera and Marquis Garcia. As a result, he was deeply involved in a series of political storms in the northern border. Even in the current Loire Valley, fight wits and courage with various enemies.
For a long time, he had problems to be solved, and even his life was in danger, so he had no time to think about this kind of problem that he would only think about when he was full and had nothing to do.
Colin is now almost at the stage where he is full and has nothing to do.
Although there are still orcs who need to be expelled, there is also the Marquis of Garcia waiting for him to rectify his name, and the threat of the royal family, etc...
But these are no longer difficult problems for Colin.
Today, he is no longer threatened by anyone or force in this world.
Mingli, he is the guardian of the northern border, the earl of the empire, the prestige he has gained and the power he controls even the royal family is terrified.
In secret, he has a paladin blood slave, a paladin blood slave, and blood shadow guards including thousands of professionals.
But what next
Humans are indeed creatures that need goals.
Otherwise, you will only fall into endless confusion and emptiness, and you will not find the meaning of living.
So, after being touched by Duke St. Grian's words this time, Colin began to examine himself—
What is my ultimate goal
power
Colin is not the kind of person who is desperate for power.
In fact, if Colin really wants to usurp that supreme position, it is not impossible.
Just doing this will bring him endless troubles. After all, this is a change of dynasty, and it must be accompanied by countless bloody conflicts.
Colin didn't think it was necessary.
He can completely push Prince Harrison to the fore, and stay behind the scenes, using a method that is more acceptable to the noble lords to achieve control of the empire.
But then what
Take control of the empire, then what
Power is a tool, not an end.
Colin fell into confusion again.
While meditating, he suddenly felt a heat in his chest.
Lowering his head, he saw that the ancient oak mistletoe hanging on his chest was emitting a faint light.
Colin took it out and put it in front of his eyes to observe carefully.
A faint emerald green smoke filled the air, making Ke Lin feel at ease, as if the previous confusion had completely disappeared.
He couldn't help but think—
Perhaps, I came to this world with a certain mission.
In a trance, the scene in front of Colin's eyes began to rotate, disintegrate, and then converge into one scene again.
Colin was stunned for a moment before he realized that this was clearly his room in Graycastle.
It was also the scene he saw when he opened his eyes for the first time after coming to this world.
In the deep darkness, a cold light suddenly flashed.
It was a dagger, stabbing into Colin's chest!
Chi!
The pain didn't come as expected.
But the picture in front of him suddenly shattered, and a majestic middle-aged man appeared in front of Ke Lin.
On the marble sculpture-like face, the most striking thing is the domineering eyes, as if the whole world is under his control.
He is wearing an exquisite silver armor, holding a flaming knight sword in his right hand. The turbulent flame bursts out with breathtaking heat, as if it wants to burn all the evils in the world.
Ke Lin stared blankly at this person, and suddenly the statue he saw on the square in front of the Yulongcheng Senate's courtyard suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but blurted out:
"Garner San Lorenzo!"
